Love conquers all

Love means nothing

Annoying Bahamut ends badly
   (Final Fantasy series in general)

Annoying Alexander, especially if you're Bahamut, ends exceedingly badly
    (Final Fantasy 9.  Castle spirit summoned to itself being annoyed, ends badly for the aggressor.)

Wearing big flags on your back makes you look really cool
  (Master Blaster... one of those videos... hard to nail down)

Time compression is not noticed at the time, and possibly never.

How are you doing?

So many people ask the question, "How are you doing?" that any thinking person has a number of canned retorts to respond to this.

One of my standard retorts is, "I think I'll live." which may be followed up, depending on receiver with, "I'm not sure how to feel about that." (or very similar)

The purpose of this interaction with people is twofold.  I am dark. This is probably immutable.  In spite of this, I can and do humor humor.


Big afterthought:
I was going to add parenthetical things to clarify points. I chose not to because people that could be confused by my minor points or wit would be confused in general.  Even trying to help them find the general direction of "up" would be a challenge.  So, I left my thoughts mostly as-is.

Nepotism

In general, nepotism seems to be loathed. The reasoning for this used to be logical. But after additional scrutiny, there does seem to be some very good reasons for nepotism to occur.

You'd be amazed at how many unloyal people there are within your family. You should also be amazed at how many unloyal people there are outside of your family.

What should really disturb people is how many people think that government owns your business because government owns everything and thus knows you owe them a job. Never mind that they are unloyal to friends, family, and father big government... Or mother, or whatever.
